With the slow and subtle collapse of local community and thinning volunteerism, you'd think the local church would be throwing everything it has into this window of unprecedented opportunity. If disciples of Jesus know how to do anything, it is to call community into being and to equip, organize and lead volunteer teams.
We're letting this opportunity slip, too. We're still focused inwardly except when we occasionally dip our collective toes into real mission.
For the first time in recent memory, local and regional emergency service planners and providers are ready to welcome leadership from local religious communities. Safety and security are front-burner in the national psyche.
Send me an email and I'll attach a PDF proposal we are working on in Cameron to take advantage of this. The plan is easily adaptable to any community.
